How we socialize our puppies...

Our puppies are socialized on a daily basis. They are raised in our home in a family environment.
Each day the puppies are handled by children under adult supervision. They are also handled by different people who come to visit.

Our puppies are adjusted to household noises.

Our puppies also:
Go for short car rides
Spend time outdoors exploring
Meet new people about once a week

Socializing Your New Puppy

-Invite friends over to meet your pup. Include men, women, and children.

-Invite friendly, healthy, vaccinated dogs and puppies to your home or take your puppy there to visit.

-Carry your pup to shopping centers, parks, school playgrounds, etc; places where there are crowds of people and plenty of activity. However, do not put your puppy down on the ground until they are at least 14 weeks of age.

-Take your puppy for short, frequent rides in the car.

-Introduce your puppy to new and various sounds.

-Accustom your puppy to being brushed, bathed, inspected, having its nails clipped, teeth and ears cleaned and all the routines of grooming and physical examination.

Description of an unsocialized puppy
A puppy that is not properly socialized will often be frightened and may have aggressive
tendencies. Dogs that have not been socialized properly as puppies, are known to snap and
bite in fear. Unsocialized dogs also have difficulty adjusting to any new environment. They
are timid around new people and sometimes will attach to only one person (and not associate
with anyone else).
Note: some puppies have inherent (genetic) personality traits, which make them more cautious and less outgoing.
